RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY MONDAY 23RD SEPTEMBER 2024.
When the Lord Jesus said, “Thy kingdom come…,” this was because the world was being dominated by another kingdom at the time. This was before His death, burial, resurrection, and ascension to heaven. It was before the advent of the new creation.
But after His resurrection and the coming of the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost, which initiated the new creation, we no longer pray, “Thy kingdom come,” because Jesus came to fulfil this prayer. We have now received the kingdom through salvation in Christ Jesus: “Therefore, since we have received an unshakeable Kingdom, let us have grace, through which we may offer service that will please God, with reverence and fear” (Hebrews 12:28 CJB).
Also, when He said, “Thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven,” it indicates that God’s will was not being done on earth at that time, but today, the perfection of God’s will is through the Church. No wonder Paul tells us, “To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God” (Ephesians 3:10).
This means we are tasked with establishing God’s will in the earth; we actively carry out His will, implementing and manifesting it in our daily lives and actions. Just like Jesus breathed on His disciples and said, “As my Father hath sent me, even so send I you,” He has given us that mandate; it is now your responsibility to enforce and establish His will in the earth and in the lives of men.
This is the reason we’ve remained on earth after we were born again; if the sole purpose of salvation was going to heaven, we would have been taken there immediately upon being born again. However, we are left here to fulfil a purpose. We carry the Kingdom within us. Wherever we go, the Kingdom goes with us.
2 Corinthians 5:20 says, “Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God.” As ambassadors for Christ, we represent our heavenly Kingdom; we’re legal representatives of God’s Kingdom. This consciousness empowers you to fulfill your divine mission, manifesting God’s will and spreading the message of the Kingdom throughout the world.
PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for the privilege of being an ambassador of the Kingdom and establishing your will in the earth. I spread and manifest the glories, beauties, and excellencies of the Kingdom, proclaiming your truth so those who are yet to receive salvation will be saved and catapulted from darkness into the glorious liberty of the sons of God, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
